Random Pics..Random Order

Isaac finally has his belly button! His umbilical cord stayed on until the night before his one month visit and when it did fall off it was still a little gooey which the Dr said was normal but I thought was pretty weird! They had to put silver inside to help finish drying it out and to help keep it germ free. So we had to wait even longer for his first real bath so that everything could continue to heal. (side note: look at that belly, I think it is bigger than his head!) Sleeping babies are adorable I think and you can really see his daddy's inherited lips...just like big brother's. :)

Isaac is 5 weeks old in this picture and and as you can see he is starting to focus in on things more each day. It is really cute to see him watch Peter...it is almost like you can hear him think "what is this whirlwind that is always circling around me?"

During one of our nice days, we met up with my sister and niece to go to the Zoo. We went in the morning which is usually great, almost like we have the whole place to ourselves. Except this day happened to be St. Patricks Day and who knew that there was huge parade a few streets away and half of St. Louis was in attendance! Parking was crazy! But we made it and had a great time. You can't tell, but he was really excited to be on the carousel-he would just stop smiling every time he saw me trying to take a picture. Cold and yucky days are no fun with a toddler and a new baby, so I really try to find things for Peter to do. He really likes markers but I always contain him in the highchair because I don't really trust him...and rightfully so as you can see he tried to eat them and what you can't see is that he also tried putting them in his ears...so he walked around the rest of the day with orange ears!
Daddy son bonding time! Peter loves to lay on the floor with Isaac and having Daddy home was a special treat for him and nice for me since I didn't have to watch him like a hawk to make sure he was not smothering Isaac with love.

What beautiful babies you have! Wow that is a long time to wait for a belly button! Glad it is a cute one. Aleaxnader loves to watch his brother and sister playing, thinking the same thing as Isaac, I'm sure. Kids do love markers! Glad they got Daddy time!They are so cute and grow up too fast!
